10-year-old Abhinav Arora, dubbed the 'Bal Sant Baba,' has taken Instagram by storm with his over-the-top spiritual reels, amassing nearly a million followers. However, many are now calling him out for what they perceive as inauthentic content, and criticisms are also directed at his parents, especially his father, Tarun Raj Arora, for encouraging this seemingly fake spiritual persona. In a recent viral video, Swami Rambhadracharya seems to be calling out Arora for his antics.
Check out the video here:
Swami Rambhadracharya is a Hindu religious leader who has been visually impaired since childhood. As the founder of the Rambhadracharya Ashram, he captivates audiences with his spiritual teachings and insightful discourses.?
The viral video shows an interaction during one of his sessions.?
In the footage, he sits on stage while various attendees, including the young Abhinav Arora, stand by.?
Arora is caught on camera enthusiastically clapping along to the music, seeming like he was recording a reel.
However, Swami Rambhadracharya swiftly interjects, saying, "Inko neeche kaho jaane k liye." (Tell him to get down from the stage).?
The next clip shows Arora still on stage, inching closer to the swami, possibly in pursuit of capturing another social media moment.?
As Arora cheers, "Raja Ram Chandra bhagwan ki jai" (Hail Lord Ram Chandra), the swami again insists, "Aap pehle neeche jao. Inko kaho neeche jaane ke liye. Maryada hain meri." (You go down first. Tell him to go down. It's my decorum).
The moment has quickly gone viral, with many reposting the clip.
Recently, there has been growing skepticism regarding Abhinav Arora's exaggerated spiritual reels on Instagram.?
Critics argue that his public persona is less about a genuine passion for spirituality and more about careful training by his parents, particularly his father, Tarun Raj Arora.
While Tarun insists that Abhinav's spiritual journey is largely self-motivated, YouTuber Ankit from the Only Desi channel has raised eyebrows with a montage of video clips.?
In these clips, 10-year-old Abhinav gives identical responses in various interviews, with the same wording and tone each time.?
Ankit claims this consistency indicates that Abhinav has been coached by his father on what to say, casting doubt on the authenticity of his spiritual enthusiasm.
